WHEAT-lt is going on for two weeks since
the suspension of the Call Board stopped all
business in the Wheat line In the meantime
everything has been at a standstill and the mar
ket has been stagpant. There is no established
price for Wheat, and operators are all at sea.
Though many are anxious to do some business
by samples, they fear to make the first move, as
the future is so much involved in doubt Millers
are beginning to run low in Stocks and some
activity could be impaired to the situation if the
representatives of this interest could agree with
holders on basis of values It's said that in some
instances Wheat has been borrowed, so to
speak. In other word, a customer has taken
Wheat with the understanding that the price
shall be arranged when business is resumed, as
by such means alone can the value be fixed.
There are many rumoTed sales at low prices but
these transactions were odd lots, and not repre-
sentative in character. Among reported trans
actions was lot of close on to eco bags on the
wharf at 81 20, partly Oregon and partly good
domestic milling, as was claimed No intima
tion has yet been given as to when the trading
on Call will be resumed Until these sessions
are reopened, the market is likely to remain in
the present unsatisfactory condition.
BARLEf-There is no speculative trading,
and but little business by sample. For Feed of
the better quality CSC . ctl Is the top OF the
market. with the tendency being to a lower
rather than higher range. Old Brewing does
not move off to the satisfaction of holders, and
concessions on former figures are of little avail
in bringing out quicker or increased custom.
The market is quotable at 81 Is for choice, and
from this down to 81 Us would embrace the
limits of values. New Brewing is not wanted
by local buyers. and quotations are therefore
nominal at 81 o21S@1 or, with sales for ship
ping purposes at 81 05 q ctl.
OATS-Stocks are large, while trade is far
from quick. Disposition is shown to shade
prices to effect sales. Buyers hold off, in hope
that quotations will become yet more favor
able for their operations. Choice Feed, 81 400

BUT rER-Roll Butter that can be strictly
